High School Actions of subatomic particles while under observation

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the observer effect in quantum mechanics, where particles behave differently when observed, leading to speculation about potential intelligence at the subatomic level. One participant expresses interest in the nature of reality and the limitations of current technology in understanding these phenomena. Others counter this notion, arguing that the behavior of particles is governed by established laws rather than any form of intelligence. They emphasize that interpreting these behaviors as signs of intelligence is misguided, comparing it to the predictable function of a thermos. The conversation highlights the complexities of quantum mechanics and the challenges in interpreting its implications.

TL;DR
excuse me if i get diffrent terminologies confused with others that are not correct. I am not a physicist, nor student. i am just intrigued by the notion of things out of our current boundaries of perceptions as human beings without the help of tools.
Hi my name is tim. I have a new found like of the inner workings of or universe , and am currently considering which field i should go into.

As of now I am considering computer science. But to me, in my opinion, we as in humans created computers, therefore the science is technically already in a sense there,, already. I am more intersetsed in those actualities we didnt create.

My question is... The spectacular experience observed when observing particles on the quantom level, as in things appearing as waves until observed amuses me. There seems to be some form of "slight" intellegience happining at the sub atomic level. Not saying it can't talk or interact on a sentience level. But perhaps it reacts through diffrent properties confined in a certain criterion, not yet discovered perhaps not currently perceivable due to current technology abilities etc.

The is completetly theoretical and i would love to have sum feedback about this phenomena of displacement.. Please elaborate, and please correct me where I am wrong. I am not here to show anyone up or anything. I am only here for knowledge, and seeing how i have no friends that are physicist, i would love to hear from those that are.Tthank you

I don't agree. Objects interact through a set of laws that don't change, and just because the laws are strange or non-intuitive doesn't mean that there is some sort of intelligence behind them.

If the electron could speak we would not understand it!

What phenomena are you talking about? Can you describe a specific experiment that you have questions about?
 
I think you are seeing signs of intelligence that just isn't there. It's like a thermos. How does it know to keep hot things hot and cold things cold? How does it know?

Like the McDLT?
 
But if I switch sides in a McDLT carton, it still works! How does it know?

Thermoconsciousness? Interpretive physics?

Are you pulling his string?
